Description: "A native New Yorker and principal of her own firm based in Manhattan, Diane Lewis is a leading figure in contemporary architecture. Inside-Out: Architecture New York City is a compendium of her practice that spans two and a half decades - a portfolio that includes major art galleries, museums, film studios, theaters, domiciles, schools, ideal structures and site studies. Rooted in a highly conceptualized relationship to the memory of the city, these projects - documented here in photographs, plans and the dramatic black-and-white sketches for which she is known - reveal an understanding of urban history and contemporary form, and expose a working methodology that has much in common with contemporary literature and art."--BOOK JACKET.
